A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

While in my yard attempting to observe the Perseid meteor shower, I witnessed an unknown object move west to east across the sky. The object emitted one yellowish-white light approximately once every 5 seconds, with each emission lasting about a second. No beam or ground illumination was noted; the object was too high in the sky to impact any ground activity. When the light was not emitting, the object was essentially invisible in the night sky. At times, a very dim, tiny light, the same color of the emitted light, was noticeable. It is possible that the emitted light was rotating around the perimeter of the object, appearing smaller when on the far side, opposite my field of view. The emitted light appeared much larger than any other stars or planets in the sky. The closest approximation I can make of its size as it appeared to me was about 25-30 percent of the size of a full moon, fully risen. No sound was heard in association with the object. Other aircraft were observed around the time of the sighting, but none in time/spatial proximity to the unknown object. The object followed a uniform path across the sky before passing out of sight to the east.

I observed an orb of white light passing over north Princeton, going west to east. It was slow moving and without sound. Two family members first spotted it and called me outside to get my opinion of what it was. It was not a plane or helicopter, and was too high to be a drone. It wasn’t a satellite, because it was to low for the light to have been reflection of the sun; it was far too bright for reflected light, as well.

Driving home near N. Jefferson St, in Princeton, Ky., my daughter and I noticed 2 somewhat small, but extremely! bright, objects move into view from over us, and then ahead, at fast speed. They were approximately 150-175 feet in elevation. They were both bright white lights, with smaller red lights flashing at their rear (attached). At first I thought of gas powered RC helicopters; as I used to know and enthusiast. But then I realized they were faster and higher than I remembered seeing his fly. And as they continued on in front of us, one just disappeared into thin air. The other continued for over 1/2 mile, and that too wasn't what I remember compatible to the range of a RC air vehicle being from the operator. When the second one got several blocks ahead of us, it also vanished. (The total distance traveled by the second object, from first sight to last, was well over 1 1/4 miles. Both objects stayed on a straight West to East course (my guess by the street we were headed toward being one that runs to the North). Neither object was ever obscured by buildings or trees, and neither just fell from the sky.
